Pirelli Angel GTs en route

[Ulvetanna_imp]

I haven't gotten more than a few thousand miles out of a rear tire before picking up a nail or other road detritus. I'm at 9,500 miles on the clock and I'm on my 3rd rear tire. Sheesh.

I honestly have no idea about these mileage figures. Even when I first started riding, well over 30 years ago, I never got anything remotely close to those numbers. I think I remember getting maybe 5,000 miles out of a set of tires during my first few years of riding. One would have to be exceptionally easy on the throttle to get those high mileage numbers, especially with a fairly heavy ride like the CB1100. I never run a tire to the wear bars on any vehicle. These numbers just seem outrageous. Not disingenous, just outrageous. I got to hand it to anyone who can ride easy enough to preserve rubber for that long; I get a fistful of that 1140cc inline four and conserving the tires is the last thing on my mind.
